TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Policy White Paper – Policy and Regulation Overview <br /> 57 <br />The greenfield development at TCAAP provides the opportunity to optimize the deployment of solar <br />(both PV and solar thermal) by creating a unified plan for the solar benefits across the site. Planning of <br />the electricity distribution infrastructure and any advanced metering capabilities brings the <br />opportunity to work with the utility to identify where large-scale solar PV might have the highest value <br />to the electrical grid. Further, the City or County could use solar mapping tools during a site planning <br />process to identify how building locations and orientation may optimize the use of the solar resource, <br />as one additional factor to consider when making a plan. The City can make use of technical assistance <br />resources available through the Minnesota Grow Solar Partnership for planning, zoning, or permitting <br />tools to facilitate solar adoption in areas where it will bring maximum benefit. <br />8.5.3.6. Electric Vehicle Enabling Policies <br />Minnesota has supported EV adoption through a range of state-level actions, and the City could invest <br />a variety of approaches, such as in public EV charging stations for on and off-street parking. As non- <br />utilities are authorized by state law to sell electricity for purposes of EV refueling, the City could <br />develop an approach to, for example, charge vehicles for a fee based on the time of day, reflective of <br />average electricity rates. In addition, by 2015 a lower customer-optional rate for EV charging at home, <br />also called an “off-peak” rate, will be offered through Xcel Energy, including a 100 percent renewable <br />option. The City could take steps to ensure residents, workplaces, and the public are able to maximize <br />access to EV charging infrastructure. Such policies would increase EV visibility, and help enable <br />consumer awareness and adoption as an increasing number of EVs come on the market and at lower <br />costs. Such charging stations could be tied to on or off-site renewable electricity sources. Additional <br />opportunities to collaborate with local businesses and public transit facilities could include road-access <br />rules, as empowered by Minnesota statute, for neighborhood and medium speed EVs internal to the <br />community. These policy options could grow as site development matures.
